Patriots and Believers -

Thank you so much for your efforts to fast each week. Although in the thousands, we are just a tiny fragment of the believers who fast weekly for the restoration and renewal of America, land that we love.

Sisters from beleaguered Portland to Brothers in the Florida Keys that we have never met join us unknowingly, called to history's greatest parade by the Spirit.

And so, while recognizing that we could never claim to be the group that has triggered America's recent once-in-a-lifetime news ... let us be equally quick to say how important you are and how important your personal fasting has been on the recent news. 

Friday's reversal of Roe v. Wade represents the first major legal directional change America has taken in years, turning away from sin and towards God.  The fruits of Friday's news were tilled with the efforts of countless souls who prayed in rain, snow, amidst scorn - for decades - that this offense against our Lord would be reversed.

At some point not too long ago, all of the repentance, prayers and belief combined to touch God's Heart and He said, enough.

Enough prayer had risen to Heaven like incense that the Lord deigned Friday's decision would be proclaimed.

Is it coincidence that less than a month ago as we moved towards Pentecost & offered the Esther Fast … that this happened? We prayed that scales would fall from Americans eyes to see and want the truth … and now this happens just days later? Coincidence after fifty years? 

Or that now many other scales seem to be falling from the country's eyes? And as ridiculous as the notion seemed - that evil was moving into our crosshairs - could it be true?  At a moment when the person who occupies the oval office, the governors and mayors of most major states and cities, when local courts are all so controlled by those who despise Christian America … how could evil be in our crosshairs now?

Yet a major victory has been won - You have moved the needle on history.

As we prepped for today's fast the most widely studied psalm yesterday was Psalm 5 with the words:

…thou hate all evildoers. Thou destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.

Strong words and indicative of the opportunity at hand - That the Lord's hatred (yes hatred per above) for evildoers will destroy them.

On the flipside the most studied gospel in the world yesterday recounted when a storm burst upon believers who thought doom was imminent. But the seemingly sleeping Lord rescued them as He will us:

MATTHEW 8:23-27

23And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25And they went and woke him, saying, "Save, Lord; we are perishing." 26And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"

Finally, June 25th was the first sunrise in America with this new Godly law in place.

Coincidence again the 25th was also the anniversary of the miracles in Medjugorje? Consider the message Heaven had in store for believers on the 25th. For those unfamiliar with Medjugorje, the speaker claims to be Mary, mother of the Redeemer, sent by the Father to call the world to repent. No endeavor has promoted weekly fasting more widely to our knowledge in history and Medjugorje has triggered literally millions of conversions to Jesus:

June 25, 2022

“Dear children I rejoice with you and thank you for every sacrifice and prayer which you have offered for my intentions. Little children do not forget that you are important in my plan of salvation of mankind. Return to God and prayer that the Holy Spirit may work in you and through you. Little children, I am with you also in these days when satan is fighting for war and hatred. Division is strong and evil is at work in man as never before. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

I don’t remember a message from Medjugorje beginning with gratitude to believers "for every sacrifice".  That gratitude is directed to you! And the perspective that evil is at work in man as never before … bears reflection.

Today, as we return to fasting we have a distinct victory at hand, encouraging us as to what is possible in the face of evil's attacks. Heaven just shared a little glimpse as to how powerful your little sacrifice of weekly bread and water fasting is on America.  Thank you for making the effort - You will be glad you did for all of eternity.

Why We Fast – Our Core Fasting Intentions

1) For the Holy Spirit to reign down upon America renewing our land as the Christian, capitalist meritocracy we were founded to be.

2) For the protection of our police, firefighters, military and their families from harm and that the Lord bless their courageous generosity on our behalf one hundredfold.

3) For the protection of the families who fast with us, and for God’s blessings of abundance upon them and that true to His word, we will be able to witness that He prospered us in famine.

Would you like to learn more about fasting?

We maintain a repository of ideas and information we have learned over the last decade while fasting weekly for America. From scientific studies on the benefits of fasting, to the differences between intermittent dieting vs intermittent fasting, to scriptural references regarding the power of fasting to the history of first century Christians who stated believers are obligated to fast weekly, we hope you will find numerous insights with our free resource located here.

Together let us also implore Heaven while fasting for intentions you have highlighted:

4) For Mike Lindell who is putting himself on the front lines suing over the election fraud that has taken place and for all of the warriors who are stepping up around the nation to fight for the gospel – May The Father cover them in the blood of our savior,  protect them and their families from evil and bring victory to their endeavors.

5) For priests, ministers and all who aspire to lead others to the Lord, that the Holy Spirit will reign down upon them as at Pentecost filling them to overflowing with an understanding of what the Lord wants, courage and the desire to preach what He would have them preach and protection and strength from all evil that comes against them. 

6) For the Americans jailed after January 6th who were admitted to the Capitol building by the police, and who were not found to have destroyed any property at the capitol yet who have been held captive ever since on our own soil - That God's Spirit will move quickly to bring justice back to this land by freeing them while enlightening Americans how to bring God's justice back to our nation.

7) For young Megan who has an incurable liver condition @ Duke Hospital - Asking the Divine Physician for a complete healing.
